>Why do you describe Afghanistan as Obama's war? It had been going on for seven years when he took office. He can fairly be criticized for not getting us out of it when he clearly believed that was what should be done. IMO there is no rational reason that Afghanistan has been the longest war in our history. They are not a strategic ally or any other kind of ally. If they want to continue duking it out against all comers they can do that without our involvement.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
